Mobility Challenges on Docks
Wooden docks, piers, and decks often present several challenges for wheelchair users:
Uneven Surfaces
Wooden planks can warp, shift, or deteriorate, creating an uneven surface that makes wheelchairs unstable and difficult to maneuver.
Gaps Between Planks
Gaps between the planks can trap wheelchair wheels, making movement difficult, uncomfortable, and potentially dangerous.

Product Overview
At Fun2Access, we believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of waterfront areas, regardless of their level of mobility. Traditional wooden docks, piers, and waterfront decks can be challenging, uncomfortable, and even dangerous for wheelchair users and people with mobility difficulties.
Uneven surfaces and gaps between planks can create significant barriers. That’s why we designed the F2A Accessibility Mat, a cutting-edge accessibility solution that ensures safe and easy access for everyone.
Why Choose the F2A Accessibility Mat?
F2A Accessibility Mat is much more than just a mat: it’s a reliable solution for marina managers, public parks, and municipalities looking to improve accessibility on docks and other outdoor spaces.
The F2A Accessibility Mat has been installed on the piers of Santa Monica, California, and White Rock, British Columbia, making these piers more accessible and safer for wheelchair users.
The F2A Accessibility Mat is fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ensuring the highest standards of accessibility and mobility. Unlike other matting solutions, the F2A Accessibility Mat enables people using wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility aids to navigate waterfront areas safely and comfortably.
Made from UV-resistant nonwoven materials, the F2A Accessibility Mat provides a slip-resistant surface that withstands sun exposure and constant foot and wheelchair traffic. Its non-slip properties allow wheelchair users to move with confidence without the risk of slipping, while providing beach access that complies with ABA / AODA / ADA accessibility standards.
The F2A Accessibility Mat smooths out uneven surfaces and gaps, creating a continuous, safe, and accessible pathway for wheelchair users, without the risk of wheels getting caught between planks. It provides a consistent surface from start to finish.
Our matting system is designed for rapid deployment, making it ideal for both permanent and temporary installations. Its lightweight design allows for quick installation, ensuring that no dock or pier remains inaccessible for more than a few minutes. It is also easy to transport and store, making it a flexible solution for any waterfront project.
Every dock, pier, and waterfront deck is different, which is why the F2A Accessibility Mat is available in custom lengths (standard lengths of 25', 35', 50', and 100') and widths of 3', 5', 6', and 10' (connectable to one another). The mat can be adapted to any space, providing complete coverage.
Compared to costly reconstruction projects or custom accessibility ramps, the F2A Accessibility Mat is a cost-effective solution. It requires minimal maintenance and is designed to provide a long-term investment for waterfront managers, marinas, and municipalities looking to improve accessibility.
The F2A Accessibility Mat is not only functional, but also aesthetically pleasing. Available in blue, brown, or tan, it blends seamlessly into the natural surroundings of waterfront areas while providing essential accessibility benefits.
